The Cherry is a low wing monoplane. It has a wood-framed fuselage and wings with wooden spars, styrofoam cores and glass fibre covering. The inner sections of the wings have constant chord and carry flaps; the outer sections are straight tapered with ailerons. The wings can be removed rapidly for transport. The tail surfaces are straight tapered and the stabilator is fitted with a full-span anti-servo tab. The Cherry seats two, in side-by-side configuration under a large, almost fully transparent, forward sliding canopy. It has a retractable tricycle undercarriage, with simple, outward folding main legs. A conventional undercarriage is an option. The prototype was powered by a 65 hp (49 kW) Continental A65 flat four engine. Since then Cherrys have used flat fours with powers of up to 100 hp (75 kW), including some from the Continental range, the Volkswagen derived Limbach L.2400 and the Rotax 912. Also the flat 2-cylinder motorcycle derived BMW R1200GS has been used. The prototype Cherry, HB-YBX flew around Europe for 25 years; in 2009 it crashed after take-off from Sundsvall-Härnösand Airport in Sweden, killing both Dani Gerwer and its designer Max Brändli,
